Great therapist. Really helping with my issues.

Emily is an excellent massage therapist and food coach!

Getting worked on & reviewing what I am doing to contribute to my problem areas.

Emily knows how to get deep into those tight muscles to loosen them up. Best massage in Boise!

Emily is fantastic Emily is fantastic! I have TMJ issues and she is super knowledgeable when it comes to helping me with those. She gets all the right muscles and I can actually feel her working them out. Love the results.

Emily Boudwin is skilled and knowledgeable. I had been having pain in my arm for over a month, and, in addition to significant relief, I got some excellent advice and treatment for my overall health and wellbeing.

I've been going to Emily since I received a massage as a Christmas gift from my daughter. It is the best gift I have ever received. I feel so much better. She has really helped me with the scar tissue from my hip replacement.

Emily is amazing Emily is amazing. She is so skilled at massage and at listening to what your needs are. I am never sore after or uncomfortable during the session. She is so knowledgeable, professional and kind. I have recommended her to everyone I know! -Valerie. Boise,Idaho

I am so grateful to Emily at Restorative Health and Wellness! She is a skilled and professional therapeutic massage therapist. And more than that she is dedicated to educating and supporting her clients. My issues with chronic shoulder pain and foot pain have improved immensely since working with Emily.

I have been on a monthly plan for over a year and I have seen a significant drop in both shoulder and neck pain. My twice monthly sessions have almost eliminated my migraine headaches, going from several migraines a month to only two in the last year. Emily is a dedicated professional and I would highly recommend her.

Emily is so "head and shoulders" above other massage therapists that a simple rating of excellent does not do justice to her abilities. I have used many other therapists, so I do know the difference. Excellent plus, double excellent, maybe superb are closer to an accurate rating for Emily. Glad that I found her! You should give her a try. 😊

I struggled with several issues from rock climbing, trail running and back country skiing for over 20 years. I tried a lot different things to deal with my muscle pain and tendonitis. I started going to Emily two years ago and I can't believe the positive changes in my body. If I could back in time I could have saved a lot of money by going to Emily.

I highly recommend Restorative Health and Wellness. Emily has helped me improve my health not only through excellent therapeutic massage that addresses my individual situation (chronic shoulder and foot pain), but also in educating me about exercises I can do at home to improve balance and endurance. Emily is extremely professional and highly skilled.

Many of the massage therapists I have seen before just touch briefly on where your pain is. Emily not only asked where I was feeling the most discomfort, but asked about what I do, how I move throughout my day, and ask about the history behind it. She told me about some literature that would help me to prevent these pains in the future. She made me feel comfortable and was very kind. I highly recommend.

I am a full-time caregiver for my husband who has dementia. Consequently, I have both upper neck and lower back tension because I am constantly in anticipation of his needs and often have to be bent over for periods of time like when I am cutting his hair or shaving him. I see Emily once a month. She has helped me tremendously and would highly recommend her. She is excellent in finding my trouble spots and releasing the tension.

As a recent transplan to the Boise area and a massage therapist I know how difficult it can be to find a highly skilled and knowledgeable LMT. I am so thankful to have found Emily so quickly. She has helped me to get my migraines back under control and even during a flare up has done wonders to relieve my current state of pain and discomfort. She truly has her client's best interests at heart and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Life-Changing Treatment Emily’s massage and instruction has been life changing for me. I first saw her in 2017, and I have been seeing her monthly ever since. I recently moved to another state, and I still make it a point to go back to Boise and see Emily as much as possible. Not only is her massage the best I’ve ever found, but her knowledge of the body is endless. Between her tips and movement classes, I’ve found a way to manage and treat my chronic pain. I can’t recommend her enough!

She focus the entire massage focusing on my Pain! I'm a Retired NMT Therapist 18 yrs. I was in Idaho temporarily working. I'm from Nevada and didn't know anyone. I was in desperate need for a NMT Massage. My Scalenes, SCM and shoulder Muscles were locked up & in Pain! This was actually the first NMT Massage I ever had! She did exactly what I needed. She focus the entire massage focusing on my Pain! I didn't need my legs or anywhere else worked on! She is as Strong as Male Therapist! I will definitely be back next year!

I’m so grateful I found Emily! I had a lot of lower body issues and had exhausted other resources trying to feel like myself again. I’m only 39 and felt like my body was decades beyond that. Emily educated me first and foremost, so I could understand the underlying issues. Her targeted massage is both therapeutic and relaxing. She gives so many practices and techniques to work on at home to correct what’s causing the problems. With consistency, I feel better than I have in the past 3 years!

I am so relieved to have learned of Restorative Health & Wellness! They provide relief with my neck and upper shoulder tension. I view their therapy as between physical therapy and massage therapy. Restorative Health & Wellness targets the massage to where the chronic pain is located. They also provide tips and resources for me to implement self-care. This isn’t your typical relaxing, stress-relieving, fall asleep full body massage. This is for the muscle tension, chronic pain with specific target therapy.

I highly recommend Emily for your Medical Massage needs! I have had the privilege of seeing Emily, a Neuromuscular Massage Therapist, for the past 4 years. I have Lupus, and with it comes chronic pain. When I arrive for an appointment, Emily asks what areas are bothering me, she listens to my concerns, and she knows just how to take care of the pain. Emily brings much relief to my low, mid, and upper back, my neck, as well as other painful areas. I see Emily 2 times a month and I don't know what I would do without her help. I highly recommend Emily for your Medical Massage needs! Barbara

Emily is amazing! I've been coming to Restorative Health and Wellness for several months now. I even joined the club. I suffer from Fibromyalgia pain and had been to other places with little relief. Emily has helped me substantially including my TMJ problems. Recently I had Plantar Fasciitis and if I hadn't been able to see Emily my recovery would have been so much more painful and miserable. I recommend her all the time. If you want someone who focuses on the medical aspect of helping you with your pain issues, this is the place to go.

Emily has prolonged my career as a… Emily has prolonged my career as a dental hygienist by keeping my upper body in good working order. My work is very repetitious and static. I am looking down all day, so my neck gets very beat up. I have a tendency to get tennis and golfers elbow from the repetitiveness of my work and Emily is the only therapist I've found that is able to keep it at bay. Also my neck and shoulders get very tight from sitting in a static position all day. I appreciate the education/tips she gives me on how to work with my body positions to prevent further injury while I'm working. I'm very grateful for her expertise over all these years.

It has been a joy to have finally found the most qualified massage therapist. I have been on the hunt for decades for an excellent therapist, and have had massages from at least two dozen therapists. Emily is in a class by herself. She always asks what is bothering me, and focuses my problems, not just going through the same massage routine. Emily’s knowledge of physical anatomy is very uncommon. She knows how the body works and can explain what she is doing to relieve my symptoms. Emily is simply “the best” by far from my experience and perspective. You will be happy with what she is able to do to relieve your pain. Give her a try. Great results will follow.

Emily, is absolutely amazing! She is unlike anyone I’ve ever seen. She knows her stuff and then some. She takes pride in what she does and shares her educational videos on website instead of letting you stay sick and to completely rely on her. She explains each muscle that she’s working on. She gentle or deeper depending on what your needs are. I go in for an hour and half session and come out feeling no pain. She’s gotten rid of pain that I’ve had since 2008.

She finds places on my body that hurt that I didn’t even know were there. If you’re extra sore or having a problem she will spend as much time to help alleviate the pain. Don’t hesitate to have the best experience of your life!! I’m grateful for her.

Migraine Relief with Massage I’ve been working with Emily for over two years. Prior to that, I was in near constant pain from migraines. My neurologist suggested massage to augment the Pharmaceuticals she was prescribing. After my first couple sessions, my pain had lessened and the frequency started diminishing. Emily’s technique is something I’d never experienced with other therapists. She has a lot of knowledge with how our bodies different processes work together and can often pinpoint where in my body I’m experiencing issues almost as soon as I walk in her office. I’ve been seeing Emily bi-weekly for quite a while and am so happy I found her! I appreciate her flexibility with scheduling and her willingness to provide additional sessions if needed.

I have chronic neck and shoulder pain, as well as TMJ. A Google search for TMJ Massage Therapist near me led me to Emily and Restorative Health and Wellness. I have been going to Emily for about 6 months and every time I leave, I feel so much better. She is very precise in working on the specific muscles that are causing your particular pain. Her sessions are targeted to the area(s) that needs the most work. I opt for a 90-minute massage just on my TMJ, neck, and shoulders, and it’s a game changer. With Emily’s expertise of focused neuromuscular massage, I’m able to go weeks in between massages, whereas with the conventional massages I’ve had in the past, I’d wish to have a massage everyday, just to get some relief. Emily is a godsend.

If you're dealing with TMJ issues and considering seeing her—do it! You’ll be in the best hands. I started seeing Emily for TMJ issues, and I couldn't be more grateful for her care. From the very first appointment, it was clear that she takes an in-depth, critical-thinking approach to truly understand each person’s unique situation. Her sessions are long, affordable, and incredibly effective—you never feel rushed, and she genuinely invests in your well-being.

I’ve seen many different providers who do manual work on the jaw, and Emily is the best of all of them! Her technique, attention to detail, and ability to pinpoint the root of the issue set her apart.

She also goes above and beyond in ways that make a real difference—helping identify habits that might be contributing to your issues, working with you to correct them, and even loaning out helpful books to support your healing. Her goal isn’t just to treat symptoms—it’s to help you truly get better.

On top of all that, she’s just a cool person with interesting ideas and great conversation. Every session feels comfortable, engaging, and productive. You can tell she’s deeply passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about her clients.

If you're dealing with TMJ issues and considering seeing her—do it! You’ll be in the best hands.

I was recently referred to Emily Boudwin by another medical professional. I have had about five sessions at this point. I have been dealing with some old military injuries as well as a new issue, tennis elbow. First off, I would defiantly recommend scheduling the full 90min session. Emily has worked on my upper and lower back, neck and skull with the jawline, calves, feet as well as hands and elbows. What I immediately noticed after the first session was my migraines have been basically eliminated. I can sleep better. I also have increased flexibility. In regards to my tennis elbow. I have gained grip strength as well as reduced pain and swelling. Emily is extremely knowledgeable in her field and keeps a clean work space. She also makes specialized five minute stretching videos on her YouTube channel. The videos can also be emailed. One thing I like is that Emily is very thorough. She can work on one area the whole time slot or she can spread load the work and hit multiple areas. It's whatever you need that day. Whether it's a sports injury, old or new injury, or just keeping up with the day to day, I give it an 11 out of 10! I Highly Recommend! A nice little bonus, there is a bit of a sliding pay scale the more often you go.

Pregnancy, labor prep, and postpartum care! I highly recommend Restorative Health and Wellness for prenatal massage, movement and alignment during pregnancy, preparing for labor, and postpartum self-care. Emily helped me stay comfortable as my body grew and changed during my twin pregnancy. She was a huge help as my center of gravity changed and I started having low back pain. She gave me lots of movement tips to keep proper alignment and reduce pain. Her tips always met me where I was without judgement. She also showed me and my husband labor comfort measures and movements to help facilitate labor in different stages. It made a huge difference in my labor experience! Even in postpartum, Emily continues to help me figure out ways to find healthy breastfeeding positions (not easy when you're feeding 2 at once!) and inspires me to find new ways to move well and with ease. Emily also has an amazing array of helpful books and resources that she is happy to lend out. Her books range from moving well during pregnancy, tongue ties, nutrition, and proper breathing techniques. I've learned so much from the books she's lent me. I look forward to every massage with Emily. The massage itself is always focused on my needs but I also look forward to what I will learn from her. Also, Emily uses coconut oil for massage, which makes my skin so happy!
